Liberals say that you should "spread the wealth" when capitalism is around, when someone makes more money from working harder than them, but when someone respectable is speaking about the inequality from incels, of the economics of sex, they cry about their own entitlements, that their body is private, their own property, while income redistribution is "equality" sex with incels is suddenly "theft" of their rights to their own property. But if property is all owned by the state, why not their bodies as well? That is why you should not argue with them, they are demented, they only care about taking from others but when others even suggest they may have something taken away from them, they cry theft.
One might plausibly argue that those with much less access to sex suffer to a similar degree as those with low income, and might similarly hope to gain from organizing around this identity, to lobby for redistribution along this axis and to at least implicitly threaten violence if their demands are not met. As with income inequality, most folks concerned about sex inequality might explicitly reject violence as a method, at least for now, and yet still be encouraged privately when the possibility of violence helps move others to support their policies. (Sex could be directly redistributed, or cash might be redistributed in compensation.)
